Regarding recent account hackings...

The folk village hackers are a group performing an organized hack across all the servers. They are primarily interested in coin only. They are using a bot to log characters to folk village on the second server to strip them.

They may take certain uniques the bot is coded for, others may be sold to the npc. No sealed item is ever touched by this group. Cwest is mostly immune from this hack because they are operating out of Turkey and have not been using proxies as it slows the bot down stripping the accounts.

The bot runs off a compiled list of usernames/passwords. If your account is on this list and you change the password you are safe. If you do not change it, the bot will log and strip every character on the account on every server automatically

Taken from a mod on official forums.

Just wanted to inform since some of yall may not aware of this. So yea stay away from folk village and if u get shot by any of these hackers change ur pw asap

"you are wrong every1 that has a valid case of being hacked in this latest string will be getting restored so do NOT talk if you dont know what you are talking about"

"about 2 minutes ago i have received official news from korlash that restorations will begin sometime this month "

"We'll let everyone know when we open up item restoration again. We are working on a pretty nifty solution which will be fairly accurate, I can't say it will be 100%. Additionally, we will only be restoring people who have updated their password since loss of items originally occurred. So if you have not updated your password, you better do it now."

It doesn't matter whether or not you go to folk village. It's called the folk village hacker because the bot takes you to folk village regardless of where you last logged out and strips all of your chars of anything valuable. When you next log in you are in folk village hence the name, only you'll have a lack of items ^^
